Responsible Gaming Philippines: Limits & Safer Play

Gambling is paid entertainment with a real risk of losing money. It is not employment, an investment or a reliable way to solve debt.

Set limits before playing

• Use only money remaining after essentials and savings.
• Set a fixed deposit and loss limit.
• Set a session timer.
• Do not borrow or use credit.
• Do not increase bets to recover a loss.

Warning signs of harm

Take a break if gambling causes secrecy, debt, conflict, lost sleep, missed work or repeated attempts to win back losses. Use available account limits and self-exclusion controls.

Immediate support

If gambling is causing harm, stop transactions, ask a trusted person for support and seek a qualified local health or counselling service. Add only current, verified Philippine support contacts to this page.
